Joining RIO turned my cash graph upside down.
Not quite the direction I was looking for though. I hope it's a case of "one step back, multiple steps forward".
Did anyone experience a similar effect?

One sick downswing. Hope you recover and yes I have experienced this, but I am not sure whether I was also not playing worse.
Yeah, thanks. It's not even that large of a downswing, but I do think that working on my game has scrambled my brain to the point of not being able to play poker, which is kind of counter-intuitive and "funny" - at least it will be if I get over the hump.
I picture my self trying to explain it to my girlfriend: "So, I joined this poker training site for 100$/month, and now I can't win at poker anymore..."
Looks like you ran super well prior to joining. You also probably had an intuitive game plan that worked well in the games you play prior to joining.
I think this is mostly what is going on though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamentalattributionerror
I wouldn't say ~5bb/100 over 100k hands is running super well at low stakes, nor is it unobtainable in any way. I've been playing for 12 years, although taken it slow in the past 4-5 years to study psychology, and while the games certainly are tougher, they are by no means unbeatable - it may not be very clear from the post, but it was made lightheartedly and genuinely curious, from a psychological point of view, of the effect of joining a training site and the "one step backwards, two steps forward" phenomenon.
I do think improving requires some experimentation and trying things you're unfamiliar with, and that winrate might decrease during transitions and experimentation.
I mostly think the psychological phenomenon that describes you seeing a connection can be explained by the fundamental attribution error.
You should get your money back!
He should get a refund from Galfond himself as well as a written apology.
Guys this kind of behaviour is unacceptable. You are both grounded.
But mooooom!
No buts and no moms. Go to your room!
screw you guys, I am going home
Overthinking, trying to apply strategies from high stakes games to your environment that works differently. Or just variance dependant downswinging that has little to do with your quality of play.
